Thanks to a major gift from an anonymous donor, First Presbyterian Church has signed a contract for a new two-manual digital organ manufactured by the Johannus organ company of The Netherlands. This organ (similar to the one pictured) will replace the chapel's current Baldwin organ, which dates from the 1960s.
Kevin Dill, Director of Music at First Presbyterian, will introduce the new organ with a mini-recital once it arrives in early fall. He is excited not only to have a realistic-sounding instrument for the funerals and occasional services held in the chapel, but also to have a climate-controlled alternative for organ practice when the sanctuary is uncomfortably hot in summer and cold in winter.
